Kim's Encampment



It was her first to try  also this  kind of game. She find it difficult  yet she keep on trying to balance with it. She love doing it again and again.

It was a Friday morning that Kim is so excited to go. She will be attending the Encampment in their school. She will have some activities that's seems to be her first. Kim's first exposure to origami.It may not be that perfect or good. But as I looked into her eyes.It connotes she is very proud of her master piece.

I am willing to support her for the upcoming camping outside the campus. It may be early for her to take care of her self.But I know with the training ,exposure and experience she will be undergoing it will be worth a try. I may be pampering her for I will always be at her side. Just wondering how is she coping with the physical challenges. Kim may you enjoy every activity .More art works and worthwhile activity with your other star scout..

Choco loko


I do love chocolate very much. I know I should slow down about eating it because of my sugar count. Well I can't resist especially one afternoon in my friend’s house. We have very healthy lunch with some veggies and super slurp y soup. It was indeed a great lunch.
 I cannot resist the dessert especially wrapped with white covering. I was thinking it will be just an ordinary kakanin made locally. But I was surprised that it was one of the most rarest chocolate I would be tasting for that day. You name most chocolates in the world but for me this one is new and indeed different. My friends was the first one to pick their choice. I was just holding on to my self as I watch them crave for it.   Atlast I got the chance to get one of the most chewiest  and chocolatey I have ever tasted . I really felt cloud nine at that time. I cannot express my gratitude to have  tasted one of the best chocolates made from SAN FRANCISCO, USA. According to my friend  it was the trademark of the place. And it is only available in their state. Though I haven’t gone to that place sure with the bite of their choco means a lot to me already. I go choco loko for a while.

Blue berry cheese cake treat


         We celebrated our dear Apong’s birthday every October 4. We celebrated it earlier for everyone to enjoy the whole afternoon. Her birthday falls in the middle of the week. She was born at San Juan, La Union last 73 years ago. The whole family migrated in Mindanao after the drought they experienced in Luzon.
So we decided to have a blue berry cheese cake on the day of her birthday. Blow a candle on the day of her natal day.  She was indeed surprised. So we sang some songs and she made a wish. She was misty eyed to see her cake.
As the celebrant sliced the cake all of us seem to be eager to have a bite of it. The blue berry cheese cake was so delicious.  Wow it was indeed so yummy and everything taste so heavenly .It last only for a day.
